A MAN OWNED & DROVE THE SAME CAR FOR 82 YEARS
They certainly don't make them like that anymore.
This man owned & drove the same car for 82 Years.
Can you imagine even having the same car for 82 years!
"How Long Have You Owned a Car?"
Mr. Allen Swift ( Springfield , MA.) received this 1928 Rolls-Royce Piccadilly-P1 Roadster from his father, brand new - as a graduation gift in 1928.
He drove it up until his death last year.....at the age of 102.
He was the oldest living owner of a car that was purchased new.
Just thought you'd like to see it.
It was donated to a Springfield museum after his death.
It has 1,070,000 miles on it, still runs like a Swiss watch, dead silent at any speed and is in perfect cosmetic condition. (82 years). That's approximately 13,048 miles per year (1087 per month)...
1,070,000 that's miles - not kilometers!!
That's Best British engineering of a bygone era.
